    So mum was cleaning out a few draws and came across my old Olympus trip 35 camera. with case.

    In good nick. And still with my Matthew Age 11 sticker I put on the back

    Now I/We have no need for it. Seems they go for around £20-£30 on Ebay. I don't mind buying but hardly sell on E-Bay.

    I'm unsure if it works. But it's been stored for about 25 years in a draw.

    Really Unsure what to do with it. Mum was about to throw it away.

    Try it on E-Bay ?

    If it works, it's quite sought after among the new "Hey, isn't film just amaze balls" body of creative students. Not gong to be a money spinner, I'm afraid. The problems with it may include, sticky shutter, especially if it's been kept in the loft since you were 11... and the selenium cell in the meter, the bit behind the diffusede glass around the lens get weak with age and give false readings. Used to sell them new for £49.99.

    It is around mate. Poundland used to sell it. You don't need press quality to try it out with. If you get completely stuck I can sort you some, but I'm sure you'll find some locally.
